Mile Marker

slow down a lighted road.
a broken sign states the mile.
a broken code.
a simple rhyme.
a smile.
a fallen line.
a simple song set the time.
an empty stage.
a view beyond the skyline.
all comes falling down.
on the floor the heart.
the tangled weed.
the open door.
the sign.
an open life is an onion skin.
in time the never scene in party blue.
i'm dying.
these are the colors and shades of a heart that is broken
